Moderate room condition close to beach

Close proximity to the beach for mesmerizing sunset views, just a stone's throw away from Hearst Castle. Poor breakfast choices but there is a good Mexican restaurant nearby. Although you may be bored with no good nightlife options nearby. Room is clean enough, but we had a weak WiFi connection.

We stayed at this older motel in late November. It was very easy to find with quick check-in and friendly service. The large, comfy room had an awesome, new super-comfy pillow-top bed - best night sleep of our 7 day trip! The pillows were sltly hard but adequate (we like soft, flat ones :o). WiFi was a bit slow; standard budget towels; low water pressure in the toilet but adequate hot water temp and pressure for the shower. Some noise from overhead room - walking - but overall quiet and very clean room with a coffee maker, fridge, and microwave. Breakfast included waffles (my husband's favorite :o), 2 kinds of cereal, 5 choices of pastries, coffee, tea, milk, juices. Probably the only thing I'd like to see added: a clothing hook in the bathroom. Otherwise, this was a GREAT motel for the price with a great location - right by Hearst Castle and the beach although we didn't have time to stay and play much. We'd stay here again.

This San Simeon "strip" on Highway 1 is not the prettiest place on this trip - (but the old fishing village a little further on, opposite the Hearst Castle road is definitely worth a visit)Sea Breeze had a passable welcome from the lady on duty, no better the next morning when we arrived down for breakfast. Our room was quiet, large, clean and equipped with everything you would expect. Added to which there was a good sea view & with the window open, the sound of the ocean. At such a bargain price, what's not to like? Well it's probably the breakfast experience.

Breakfast - just OK but we did like the waffle maker! However the room is cramped with nowhere to sit & difficult to serve yourself with guests milling around in such a small area. Sitting outside is the only viable option but be prepared to wrap up very well on a breezy Oct morning!Juices/ coffee etc ran out regularly with no one in sight most of the time to replenish them. Someone came in at 9.25 (breakfast finished at 9.30) & were ushered out as they were "too late" !

This place could be so much better & charge significantly more if it added a sun lounge/ conservatory at the back to eat breakfast & this would mean more room to set out the food. Just a thought.

If you want a quick & cheap stopover near the Castle don't be put off by the breakfast review.

Room Tip: Upstairs is probably best for view & quietness

Location is just off main road. Stayed in room 126 on second floor which provided a view of the ocean. It was a short walk to the beach. The room was large and nicely decorated. You could open the windows which allowed us to leave them open during the night and hear the waves hitting the beach.. The bathroom was very nice althought it had limited counter space. There was a small space in the lobby that provided a variety of free breakfast items that allowed you to quickly get back on the road and held you over until lunch time. The Inn was only about 2 miles away from Hearst Castle. We would definetly stay here again if we were in the area.

My wife and I stayed for two nights. Based on reviews I had read, we were pleasantly surprised. Room on 2nd floor was spacious and had a great a view. Francisco at the desk seemed to be always on duty, was very friendly, and was a great help w/directions. Inside breakfast area was small; however, plenty of room on patio (not so good if the weather is cold or raining). Minutes from Hearst. Would definitely stay there again. Although there are no elevators, the stairways are very wide and it wasn't that difficult to pull the suitcases up (I'm 73). As to the breakfast area, we did eat inside at the lounge chairs. A bit uncomfortable but well worth the waffles and such! Short walk to beach.

Room Tip: Go for the farthest (away from office) on 2nd floor. View won't be blocked by townhouses and such.
